Well, I think that’s an interesting take on things.
I recall, however, that Oswald’s one-man pro-Cuba (”hands off Cuba”) New Orleans activity and his time in the Soviet Union were covered constantly by the msm for several years after the assassination.
From what I have read, it seems Oswald was not a doctrinaire communist; he lacked sufficient intellect to understand political science, even in a rudimentary sense. (I can’t cite a source for it, but I recall reading that Oswald’s IQ was in the low 90s.)
Rather, I think he was just a malcontent with illusions of grandeur.
Although neither clinically psychotic nor legally insane, he was one crazy deluded dude.
That does not necessarily make him a leftist.
Like McVeigh, Oswald was afflicted with a profoundly righteous egomaniacal certitude.
“Like McVeigh, Oswald was afflicted with a profoundly righteous egomaniacal certitude.”
I agree on most of what you wrote. I think the communist thing was an attempt to make himself standout and be different (ie: get attention). I read a book about Oswald and Marina many years ago which probably shed more light on his personality than anything I have ever read. He was quite the momma’s boy who constantly told him he was superior to others and that it wasn’t his fault he didn’t succeed in anything. I’m not so sure he was so much full of egomaniacal certitude as he was desperate to get attention for being someone special. I think you described McVeigh perfectly, however.
